Quick & Easy Snack Ideas

A young lady from my recent JYM Lifestyle & Success Seminar mentioned that she has a problem with healthy snacking throughout the day. Don’t we all have this problem from time to time? I was happy that she asked, and I thought if I shared a few of my faves perhaps a few others would benefit.

EASY & QUICK SNACK IDEAS:
·      Raw Veggies + Hummus (red & green pepper, celery, cucumbers, broccoli)
·      Greek yogurt + berries, kiwi or navel orange + 2 tbsp chia seed or hemp hearts
·      Cottage cheese (low sodium) with berries + 2 tbsp flax seed
***Use small amt of natural honey as sweetener if needed with greek yogurt or cottage cheese)
·      Brown rice cakes with peanut butter + apple slices on top
·      Apple + handful of almonds (raw, unsalted) is super easy if on-the-go
·      High quality protein bar (look for high protein, low sugar, low-carb) 
***I don’t eat these daily. Keep them in hidden places like your purse, work drawer, gym bag etc. so if you forget to pack your lunch your not in a crunch!

Jenna’s Home-Made Trail Mix:
·      A huge mixture of many of my favorites (I buy them in bulk at bulk barn or grocery store and make a TON and store it in little containers or plastic baggies)
·      E.g. Raw unsalted Cashews, Almonds, Pecans, Walnuts Macadamia nuts, Pumpkin seeds, Sunflower seeds
·      Dried cherries + dried sultana raisins

***Snack serving should no more than ½ cup maximum! Nuts are super high in fat but great for you in moderation.
